My name is Jordan, I’ve been designing, modeling, and creating products with Autodesk Fusion 360 for over 10 years specializing in prototype products and small scale manufacturing. During that time, I have developed an eye for design that is carefully shaped around the restrictions of real world production. Sometimes it can be difficult to bridge the gap between a designer and the reality of manufacturing, but my experience allows me to create an ideal compromise resulting in retaining the original design while ensuring the best result during production! I’m not only a designer, but a maker and business owner myself! 🛠I have personal experience in small scale production (injection molding & 3D printing) 💸I understand the expense in starting a business 💰I can work around any budget 🔭I will help visualize your product 🔩I know how to design successful 3D printed items for cheap and rapid prototyping I can turn your vision into a reality. Give me a little guidance, some photos or drawings for inspiration and leave the rest up to me. Below are all of the file formats I can produce: - .F3D - .3MF - .IPT - .DWG - .DXF - .FBX - .IGES - .OBJ - .SAT - .SKP - .SMT - .STEP - .STL - .USDZ
